Long Long Time
Endless Love Struggles: Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time Meaning
Lyrics
Love will abide
Love will endure
Take things in stride
Handle situations calmly
Sounds like good advice
Seems like wise counsel
But there's no one at my side
However, there's no one by my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
Time heals emotional wounds invisibly
That's what someone told me
Someone conveyed this to me
But I don't know what it means
Yet, I'm uncertain of its meaning
'Cause I've done everything I know
I've exhausted all known efforts
To try and make you mine
Striving to make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
Anticipating a long-lasting love
For a long long time
Over an extended period
Caught in my fears
Trapped in my anxieties
Blinking back the tears
Suppressing tears
I can't say you hurt me
Unable to say you caused me pain
When you never let me near
You kept me at a distance
And I never drew one response from you
I never elicited a reaction from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
While you pursued other girls
'Cause I've done everything I know
I've exhausted all known efforts
To try and make you mine
Striving to make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
Anticipating it will cause me pain
For a long long time
Over an extended period
Wait for the day you'll go away
Awaiting the day you leave
Knowing that you warned me
Acknowledging your prior warning
Of the price I'd have to pay
Aware of the price I'll pay
And life's full of flaws
Life is imperfect
Who knows the cause?
The cause is uncertain
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Living with the memory of a love that never existed
'Cause I've done everything I know
I've exhausted all known efforts
To try and change your mind
Attempting to change your perspective
And I think I'm gonna miss you
Expecting to miss you intensely
For a long long time
Over an extended period
'Cause I've done everything I know
I've exhausted all known efforts
To try and make you mine
Striving to make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
Anticipating a long-lasting love
For a long long time
Over an extended period
